Most of us know that stealing is wrong. The average person doesn’t go around stealing candy from the store or taking a laptop left on a library table. But what about stealing ideas, thoughts, or research? That particular brand of stealing is plagiarism, something most people, especially those involved in research and education, are familiar with. Merriam-Webster defines plagiarism as “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own: use (another’s production) without crediting the source.”1 What most people don’t know is that there are five types of plagiarism: global, verbatim, paraphrasing, patchwork, and self-plagiarism. Scribbr (a company that provides plagiarism checking, professional editing, citation help, and writing coaching) has its own guide to plagiarism that details these five types of plagiarism.
